3 answers

To expand the expression 7/10(5d+6), we can distribute the fraction 7/10 to each term inside the parentheses.

7/10(5d+6) = (7/10)(5d) + (7/10)(6)

To multiply a fraction by a whole number, we can multiply the numerator of the fraction by the whole number and keep the denominator the same.

= (7 * 5d) / (10) + (7 * 6) / (10)

Simplifying this further, we have:

= (35d) / 10 + 42 / 10

To add or subtract fractions, the denominators must be the same. In this case, the denominators are both 10, so we can add the numerators directly.

= (35d + 42) / 10

Therefore, the expanded form of 7/10(5d+6) is (35d + 42) / 10.

expand -5/8(3p +8)
To expand the expression -5/8(3p + 8), we will again distribute the fraction -5/8 to each term inside the parentheses:

= (-5/8)(3p) + (-5/8)(8)

Multiplying a fraction by a whole number, we multiply the numerator of the fraction by the whole number and keep the denominator the same:

= (-5 * 3p) / 8 + (-5 * 8) / 8

Simplifying further:

= (-15p) / 8 + (-40) / 8

To add or subtract fractions, we must have the same denominator. In this case, the denominator is 8, so we can add the numerators directly:

= (-15p - 40) / 8

Therefore, the expanded form of -5/8(3p + 8) is (-15p - 40) / 8.
